The 2012–13 Colorado Avalanche season was the 41st overall season for the franchise, 34th season in the National Hockey League, since June 22, 1979, and 18th season since the franchise relocated to Colorado to start the 1995–96 NHL season. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.
On September 4, 2012, the Avalanche named Gabriel Landeskog as the fourth team captain in Avalanche history. Landeskog also becomes the youngest captain in NHL history, as he is 11 days younger than Sidney Crosby was when he was named as captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2007.
The Avalanche finished the season with the worst record in the Western Conference and 2nd worst record in the league. As a result, head coach Joe Sacco was relieved of his duties the day after the season ended. Former Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy was hired as the new head coach on May 23, 2013.
